Lunar Landing Pads: How Sintering Regolith Reduces Dust Ejecta for Safe Moon Landings
Lunar landing pads made by sintering Moon soil reduce dangerous dust ejecta from rocket landings. Using microwaves, lasers, or polymers, engineers are turning regolith into durable surfaces-cutting Earth-launched mass by 90% and enabling long-term lunar bases.
